Chapter Thirty Nine

POV: Zara

I watched him leave from the window and stood there until the car disappeared through the settlement gates completely and then I turned away and sat on the edge of the bed and pressed both palms flat against my thighs and breathed through everything sitting in my chest with the particular discipline of someone who has been practicing not falling apart for long enough that it has become less of an effort and more of a reflex, something the body does automatically b

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty Five

    Chapter Fifty FivePOV: SeraI did not sleep.I sat by the window where Damien had thrown that stone and watched the dark settle into the deeper dark that comes right before morning, and I turned his words over so many times that by the time the sky started to grey at the edges I had worn them smooth, like stones in a riverbed, like something I had been carrying so long I no longer felt the weight of it.The vial. The full moon window. Zara's lie about the child she was not carrying.I believed him.That was the part that frightened me most, not the conspiracy itself, but how quickly I believed it. Two months of watching Lyra's face do things that did not match her words. Two months of feeling something cold settle in my chest every time she touched my arm and called me sister. I had been carrying the suspicion already. Damien had not given me something new. He had given me language for something I already knew, and there is a particular kind of fear that comes from having your worst

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty Four

    Chapter Fifty Four POV: DamienReuel found me at nightfall exactly like he said he would.He came alone and he came without announcing himself and his wolf was fully back which I felt before I heard his footsteps, that dominant pressure of him filling the space around the hollow tree like something that had been compressed and was now expanding back to its natural size, and I stood up from where I had been crouching and faced him and waited.He looked at me for a long moment and then he said, "I want to know who sent you.""That is not something I am giving you tonight," I said."Then this conversation is short," he said."My Alpha's identity does not change what I heard at that wall," I said. "And it does not change what is going to happen to Sera if we spend the next hour arguing about information that is not relevant to the immediate problem."He was quiet. His wolf pushed against mine and I held my ground and did not push back because pushing back against a dominant Alpha when yo

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty -Three

    Chapter Fifty Three POV: DamienReuel ran the same patrol pattern every morning before sunrise and I knew this because I had been watching him for six days and men like Reuel, men who were confident enough in their dominance that caution felt beneath them, always ran the same pattern.It was the thing that got dominant wolves killed more than anything else. Not stronger enemies. Not a better strategy. Routine. The comfortable arrogance of a man who had never once had a reason to believe the outer dark was watching him back.I pressed myself flat against the eastern wall of the outer settlement and waited and felt my wolf run low and quiet the way I had trained it to run, pressed down into something that did not announce itself, that did not push against the air around it the way dominant wolves pushed, that simply existed in the space without taking up any of the space.I heard him before I saw him.His footsteps were heavy in the way of a man who had never learned to move like he

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty -Two

    Chapter Fifty Two POV: Damien I had been in the shadows of this territory for three weeks and nobody knew I was here and that was exactly how I needed it to stay. Patience was the one thing my Alpha had beaten into me before everything else, before strategy, before combat, before the politics of rogue networks and border intelligence, patience first, always patience, because the wolves who moved too fast were the wolves who ended up in holding rooms getting slapped by women they had underestimated and escorted out of territories they had spent months infiltrating. I knew about that from personal experience. I watched from the tree line the night of the ceremony when the testing stone went black and I watched Lyra go down and I watched Zara appear from nowhere like she had rehearsed the exact moment, and I thought, there it is, that is the play I would have made, and I felt something close to admiration before

  • EVEN ALPHAS KNEEL: The Rejected Mightiest Luna    Chapter Fifty -One

    Chapter Fifty OnePOV: ZaraI watched Sera walk away and felt something I had not felt in a very long time, which was the specific warmth of winning a round, and I stood in that corridor and let myself feel it for exactly three seconds before I turned to Kael with everything arranged on my face the way it needed to be arranged.He was not looking at me.He was watching Sera walk away, and the expression on his face was the one I had been watching him wear for months whenever she was in a room, that particular stillness that was not actually stillness at all but something considerably more alive than anything he ever directed at me, and I stood there and felt the warmth of winning drain out of me completely and leave something considerably colder in its place.He turned to me."What are you doing here Zara," he said, and his voice had already dropped into that registe

    Chapter FiftyPOV: Sera AshwoodI went to check on Lyra because that was what I did, that was what I had always done, and twenty years of instinct did not disappear overnight even when the testing stone had gone black and the vial had been in her hand and I still did not have a clean answer for any of it.The healer's house was quiet when I arrived and I could hear voices from the inner room before I reached the door, low and careful and carrying the specific quality of a conversation that did not want to be overheard, and I pushed the door open without announcing myself because announcing myself in places I had every right to be was not something I had ever done.Zara was standing at Lyra's bedside.Lyra saw me first and something crossed her face that was gone before I could name it, and she said, quickly, "Zara you should go, Sera is here and I do not want her to think—""Think what," I said pleasantly, stepping fully into the room.Zara turned around and looked at me with that comp
